Wouldn't Larvesta take one point for take down?? It's a new mechanic we haven't use before but the the user of take down gets hurt as well

While that makes sense, it over complicates things. For instance, I would then have to start taking into account the individual damage of each move within the RP setting, why then have moves that also inflict self damage? In that case, your Leer probably wouldn't have had the effect that it did before. I'd also have to start considering stat effects and all that jazz. I'd rather not get into those things. 

RP battles are supposed to be simple. One roll vs another roll. 

So to make logic out of this, let's remember that in the RP battles we are using an arbitrary new term called "Power". For instance, that second Murkrow had already been battling and taken a couple hits. But she still started her battle against you with full power. Along those same lines, the Take Down might have caused a little pain to the Larvesta, but it doesn't lower it's ability to fight. 

I know I'm stretching to make things work according to my system, but please exercise your suspension of disbelief, and give me this one. :)
